Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Matrix 2.4 4WD (AZE144) rear differential holds 0.5 liter across all configurations in the specifications, a small capacity consistent with a compact rear differential unit rather than a larger axle assembly.
  • For the Canadian-market AZE144 covering 2009-2010, the normal use condition specifies only a fluid check at 16,000 km or 12 months, with no fluid change interval listed for that condition.
  • Under severe use for the Canadian 2009-2010 AZE144, a fluid change is required at 32,000 km or 24 months, which is double the 16,000 km or 12-month check interval also present in that same condition row.
  • The Canadian 2011-2014 AZE144 introduces a "first check only" condition not present in the 2009-2010 specifications, with a check interval set at 32,000 km or 24 months for that condition.
  • Under normal use, the Canadian 2011-2014 AZE144 retains the same 16,000 km or 12-month check interval seen in the 2009-2010 model years, with no change interval specified for normal use in either period.
  • The USA-market AZE144 covering 2009-2013 uses a mileage-based interval of 15,000 miles or 18 months, whereas the Canadian specifications use 16,000 km or 12-month intervals, reflecting different market service schedules despite the same 0.5-liter capacity.
  • For the USA-market AZE144 under severe use, the 15,000-mile or 18-month interval is assigned directly to a fluid change, whereas the same interval distance in the normal use condition is assigned only to a fluid check.
